Mistakes

when the night is lonely embracing its stars

when its dawn is breaking embracing the morning

with its scars

will we relive our mistakes as again the night

embraces its lonely stars

and when we do wil we meet the dawn and its morning

without its scars

'Cause you're a stranger

you drifted into town
makin' noices being loud
polluting our vieuw

bleeding over our streets
looking into windows breaking
into our privacy

is something we don't need
what we need is you making
tracks into eternity

so take your garbage to the
next train that leaves, we don't
want you to know

how we lay, live and die
'cause your kind is rough
we don't want you about

'cause you're a stranger your
eyes might see too much we
have ways you don't think of

they are ours, ones we'll keep
you wouldn't understand, you
wouldn't like what you see

so get out of this town we
don't want you about 'cause
you're a stranger

Willpower

my mind is filled with tears
never crying

my heart is filled with pieces
never breaking

my days are short and long lived
and time has come never healing

yet willpower is doing just that

Solid ground

she was there an' she shook me
she was there an' she took me
she promissed me a gentle storm
she promissed me her smile
and swept away my solid ground

so when I left her for the breaking of light
I left her gentle darkness. I left her velvet
touch, and.. I knew I'd come again, maybe..
on solid ground I'd even stay
